What Does Prosperity Taste Like? Beef.

What does prosperity taste like? According to McDonald’s in Singapore, it tastes like beef. From a historical point of view, I suppose that’s true.

What’s a Prosperity Burger? It’s a beef or chicken burger on a long bun, almost like a small sub sandwich, with onions and a black pepper sauce. If you want mega prosperity, apparently you need to add some twister fries.

I love the sublike burgers, but I wouldn’t get one at McD’s. And they’re probably on those tasteless buns. There was a tiny place in Santa Cruz when I lived there that made them fresh and put them on French rolls. They were soooo good!

Mega Prosperity is the same burger but with two patties instead of one! I’ve had these in Singapore and it is magnificent! Taste 1000X better than those pepper beef things at Chinese restaurants stateside

This has more implications than you mention. Indeed prosperity is beef. And beef has some horrible cause and effect. Chickens take about 4 pounds of grain per pound of chicken produced, beef is over 50 lbs of grain.
As the poor countries get wealthier, their desire for beef results in higher prices for grain that poor people are typically left to eat.

Well, if prosperity tasted like anything, it probably would be beef. It’s the most expensive of the main meats in terms of both money spent and resources. We just don’t see how expensive it really is because of subsidies.

WTF to McDonald’s for holding out on the twisty fries. Also, why does it seem like a lot of fast food places introduce their most redonkulous fatty-fat foods in Asia? Remember that pizza with hot dogs in the crust? The Whopper with seven hamburger patties? Our Baconator may be terrible, but it doesn’t compare to that.

If I hadn’t seen the description on their own web site, I’d say that looks like the McRib patty – formed bones and all…. I think I remember them selling a “hogie” shaped burger here in the US a number of years ago – maybe during the 90’s?
